S. SALVIUS, OF AMIENS, B. C.

(ABOUT 615.)

[Roman Martyrology. There are three bishops, Saints, of this name,

one Bishop of Albi, one Bishop of Angoulême, and this one, Bishop

of Amiens; they are often confounded by writers.]

S. Salvius lived as a monk for many years, in what monastery is not

known. He was afterwards elected abbot. Being chosen Bishop of Amiens,

he ruled the diocese with prudence, but little or nothing is known of

his acts. As he died in an ecstasy, a brilliant light is said to have

illuminated his cell, and praying with extended arms, he surrendered his

soul.
